As you will see, the price ranges from ~$300 to ~$2,000. Given that we are not pros, and just want to take nice pictures of architecture/animals/people on our trips, what would you recommend? Thanks. |
Don't know if you need to get it from futureshop, but I got myself the canon 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 IS. I didn't want to carry around too many lenses, so I felt for convenience, price, and performance, it was a good choice. I just take this and my 50mm prime around most of the time. Sigma makes a similar lens as well, i think it's a little cheaper but the aperture isn't as good at the long end of the zoom.
